The Teacher’s Accuser Episode 6: Ducking And Weaving
Hedley and the team are back to dissect Judge Sarah Huggett’s three-year sentence for Chris Dawson’s unlawful carnal knowledge of a schoolgirl.
But in another court, a new drama plays out as education authorities try to dodge accountability for his crimes. We hear the first-hand accounts of students who encountered Dawson in his heyday, and examine the prison reality of a man whose narcissism has brought him all the way back to where it all began.

Customer Reviews
Hm
Initial series is great! Host def had their mind made up from the beginning, but turns out they were correct…
But your really milking this for all it’s worth now… “next week we’re gonna interview the janitor who cleaned at the abc who must have overheard some phone calls”
Brilliant
A great example of investigative journalism. You’ve all made a powerful difference, getting justice for exploited women.
Compelling
This story becomes all-consuming. Thank goodness this story and it’s injustices have been brought into the light.
